Synopsis

Imagine a land of boundless opportunity, where dreams of a better life collide with the harsh realities of survival. Now picture a single, horrifying event that shattered those dreams and left a stain on American history. American Primeval: Blood, Faith, and Betrayal in the Untamed West takes you deep into the heart of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a tragedy that exposed the darkest corners of human nature—fear, prejudice, and the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition.
 
In 1857, a group of pioneers known as the Baker-Fancher wagon train set out for California, seeking a new beginning. But their journey took a deadly turn in the remote valleys of Utah, where they were ambushed and slaughtered by a group of Mormon militiamen and their Paiute allies. What drove these settlers to commit such an unthinkable act? How did fear, religious zeal, and cultural conflict ignite one of the most infamous massacres in American history?
 
This gripping narrative unravels the complex web of events leading up to the massacre, from the rise of the Mormon Church under Brigham Young to the simmering tensions between settlers, Indigenous tribes, and the U.S. government. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, American Primeval brings to life the voices of the victims, the perpetrators, and the survivors, offering a haunting exploration of a tragedy that continues to echo through the ages.
 
American Primeval is more than just a historical account—it’s a journey into the human soul. You’ll feel the desperation of the pioneers, the paranoia of the settlers, and the resilience of the survivors. You’ll witness the clash of cultures, the power of faith, and the devastating consequences of fear. This book doesn’t just tell a story; it challenges you to confront uncomfortable truths about history, humanity, and the forces that drive us to violence.
 
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a student of human nature, or simply someone who loves a gripping tale, American Primeval will captivate you from the first page to the last. It’s a story of hope and horror, of faith and betrayal, and of the enduring quest for justice in the face of unspeakable tragedy.
 
Don’t miss your chance to uncover the truth behind one of the most shocking events in American history. American Primeval: Blood, Faith, and Betrayal in the Untamed West is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the past and their relevance to the present.

    “Drag embodies the queer possibility that exists within each of us—the infinite ways in which gender, good taste, and art can be lived.”  
    –Sasha Velour 
    This book is a quilt, piecing together memoir, history, and theory into a living portrait of an artist and an art. Sasha Velour illuminates drag as a unique form of expression with a rich history and a revolutionary spirit. 
    Each chapter strips off a new layer, removing one tantalizing glove and then another, to reveal all the twists and turns in the life of a queen. As Sasha recalls her own journey, from the women who raised her, to learning the craft of an artist, to success, disaster, and more, she also uncovers the history of queer life around the world that made it all possible. 
    From shamans to “fairies balls,” empresses to RuPaul’s Drag Race (and beyond), The Big Reveal chronicles and celebrates our shared queer pasts. “If we want to be seen as legendary,” writes Sasha, “we have to weave ourselves into history.” 
    From an iconoclastic drag queen comes an equally singular, thought-provoking manifesto that brings necessary and sparkling substance to our understanding of drag, queerness, beauty, and liberation! 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    Along with the concepts of social role, social group, social network, social class, and social structure, the notion of impersonality is one of the pillars of the sociological imagination: the ability to think beyond individuals and see them as members of particular social categories. Although almost every sociologist is at least implicitly cognizant of the fundamental contrast between personalness and impersonality, it has yet to be explicitly conceptualized. 
     
     
     
    Don't Take It Personally comprehensively addresses the fundamental distinction between the specific and generic visions of personhood. Over the course of the book, Eviatar Zerubavel articulates the fundamental features of impersonality; the process of producing impersonality; the impersonal logic underlying the notion of individuals as countable quantities; the relationship between modernity and impersonality; and considers what is gained and what is lost by impersonalizing so much of social life. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on fascinating examples from diverse social contexts, Don't Take It Personally introduces a general framework to better understand the deeper connection between seemingly disparate phenomena, from racial profiling and hate crimes to "secret Santa" gifting.
